Moving to New York in 1978, filmmaker Henry Hills
formed a strong alliance with the Downtown improvisers and the
“Language” poets, guiding his film work toward a rhythmic, multilayered
world filled with unpredictable changes and a striking improvisational
edge. The very best of his short, intense films are presented here—from
the downtown all-star Money to structural dance films like The Little
Lieutenant and Bali Méchanique. A major force in new cinema, these
films are brilliantly visual, crammed with image and double meaning.
Also included is his 1990 music video for the band Naked Cty, Gotham.
